Almost 270 million cars are registered across America, and eventually, they all have a limited lifespan. Around 95% of vehicles that outlive their usefulness are recycled in some way, and at least 80% of the average vehicle can be recycled or reused. Aftermarket recycling in the form of used sales and parts replacement account for a lot of that. Nonetheless, more than 25 million tons of various materials are recycled annually from vehicles alone. That adds over $32 billion to the GDP via sales and a lot of money is exchanged for inoperable or unwanted junk cars. Of course, that money often benefits car dealers, aftermarket parts dealers, and others in the know. However, selling your junk car isn’t challenge when you rely on the right buyers, and there are some real benefits to doing so.
Selling Your Junk Car Frees Up Your Finances
As a car gets older, it becomes more expensive to maintain. Repairs become more expensive as cars age and gas usage becomes less efficient. Even if the beast isn’t reliable anymore or it’s sitting in storage, chances are you’re still paying monthly or quarterly insurance premiums. Selling your junk car frees up your finances and helps put some extra cash in your pocket.
Kiss Car Problems Goodbye
A rattle, ping, or hissing noise can require a minor tweak or repair. Nevertheless, after the 75K mile mark, those simple noises are usually connected to far more extensive and expensive repair requirements. All too soon, you can wind up dumping your hard-earned cash into a car you barely tolerate. Once the big repairs start flooding in, those expenses can quickly add up to cost more than the actual value of the car. Selling your junk car for cash can remedy those issues.
Improve Your Home Life
A junk car doesn’t have to be old to be a menace. Even newer vehicles can prove to be lemons or suffer such damage that they become more chaotic than convenient. Whether you’re storing your junk car in the driveway, your garage, or special storage, the constant reminder and potential mess can lead to extra stress for the entire household. Regardless of whether you’re planning to buy another car, why waste space on a vehicle you can’t even use? Just think about what else you could do with that space… a new car, workshop, or even man/lady cave.
Free Pick Up and Towing Service
A good scrap yard doesn’t care if you can’t drive your car in and they certainly don’t expect you to have it towed yourself. A bonded, licensed, and experienced tow truck driver can meet you at your home or the local pick up point that fits your needs. Moreover, since the service is included in the deal, you don’t have to worry about any unexpected fees or fines due to vehicle abandonment or illegal parking concerns.
Cash On-the-Spot for Your Junk Car
You don’t need to jump through any special hoops when selling your junk car for cash. No application process or long waits for approval are needed. A simple phone call can get you a professional estimate and pickup time for the vehicle in question. All you’ll need are the title in your name, the car in the condition stated and hopefully, a smile on your face as the tow truck driver hands you cash on-the-spot for your junk car. When you’re ready for a stress-free exchange and a wad of cash for your clunker, give us a call.
Getting someone to buy my junk car does free up my finances as you mentioned since I can finally buy a more fuel-efficient car. I do agree that I can finally kiss car problems goodbye as you pointed out which I will no longer experience with a new car. If there are any services that give cash-on-the-spot for my junk car as you said, then this can give me great advantages to buy a good car next week.
My dad has three junk cars that he left in my backyard and garage. I like how you mentioned that we could clear that space up by selling the cars and use the space for a workshop or even a man/lady cave! This is a great idea, and I am going to do it!
Glad to hear that you liked the idea, Kate. Regards.
I have an old car that has been sitting in my driveway and taking up space for over a year now, so I am thinking about selling it to a junkyard for cash. You make a great point that not only will it make me money, but I also won’t have to worry about transporting the car to the dump because they will tow it for me. This would save me a lot of time and stress and having the car not sitting in the driveway anymore would definitely help my house to feel less cluttered.
I’m glad that the post helped you Rosie. Good luck on selling your car.
I thought it was interesting how you said that selling your junk car helps free up some of your finances. My brother has a broken car sitting in his yard. It may be beneficial for him to hire a junk car removal service to help him get rid of it.
I thought it was really helpful when you explained that if big car repairs are adding up selling the junk car for cash can solve your problems. My car has recently been giving me a lot of trouble and we’ve had to make multiple repairs. I’ll definitely have to look more into selling it for cash.
My boyfriend and I want to get rid of an old car we have but don’t know how to go about it. I didn’t know a simple phone call with the right company could get you a professional estimate and a pickup time for the vehicle you want to sell. That sounds like the easiest way to sell our car and I could use some extra cash for some more appliance so I’ll call around to find an auto buyer that fits my tastes and can take my car off my hands for the right price!
My husband and I have a car that doesn’t work anymore, and we’re thinking about selling it so it can be recycled. Your article had great points about the benefits of something like this, and I liked how you said a bonded, licensed, and experienced tow truck driver can be supplied by the company we hire to pick up our car, which can save us a lot of headache. Thanks; we’ll keep this in mind when considering selling our old car to be recycled.
I like how you said that selling your junk car frees up your finances and helps put some extra cash in your pocket. My dad gave me his old truck a long time ago and I have been having to constantly get it fixed and it just doesn’t seem worth it to keep it anymore. I’ll make sure to keep this in mind when I decide to sell it.
I’m glad that you talked about how selling your junk car is a good idea if it becomes inefficient or requires too many repairs. I received a car from my grandfather when I first received my driver’s license, but my car is barely functional at the moment, and no amount of repairs has been able to fix it. It might be best for me to hire a junk car removal service so that I don’t need to worry about fixing it anymore.
I had never really thought about selling any of my old cars for cash, but you make some pretty good points on why it’s a good idea. I especially like the idea of not having to go through a ton of hoops to sell the car. After all, most of the time junk cars are just hunks of metal to get rid of, so you don’t want to have to go through too much hassle to get rid of them.
